Upload directory security

[bustergut]

My sites use the standard jdownloads directory for uploading files to.

I suppose (don't know) that I could change this somehow so that hackers have a tougher job of finding it.

Is it possible to put the folder outside of public_html? If so, how?

Hi,
i have this not tested until today.
But you can try this self:
- copy the upload root folder with all subelements to a position outside from the public_html folder
- correct the path in configuration TAB: Downloads to the new folder
- test the download and uploads

But please note that all media files can not be more played (mp3, mp4, flv).
